Assessment of the likelihood of pulmonary hypertension (PH) based on echocardiography according to ESC and ERS recommendations [5].

Parameter low Moderate High
TRV ≤2.8 m/s ≤2.8 m/s 2.9–3.4 m/s >3.4 m/s
TRPG ≤31.4 mmHg ≤31.4 mmHg 33.6–46 mmHg >46 mmHg
PASP=RVSP ≤36 mmHg ≤36 mmHg 36–50 mmHg >50 mmhg
other echocardiographic markers of
PH:
evaluation of blood flow through the pulmonary valve; evaluation of overload and function of the right ventricle
absent present present or absent present or absent

TRV – maximum velocity of tricuspid regurgitation; TRPG – the tricuspid regurtitation pique gradient; PASP – systolic pulmonary artery pressure; RVSP – systolic pressure in the right ventricle.
